The Project

Mayor Buckhorn is moving decisively with an economic
development strategy that recognizes that our future as a
vibrant, livable and sustainable community depends upon
connecting People, redefining Places, and igniting Progress.
In 2012, a nationally recognized planning team worked with
the city and our community stakeholders and opinion leaders
to develop a shared vision and give city leaders an implementable
plan of action. These efforts produced broad-based community
support for the InVision Tampa Center City Plan, the Nebraska –
Hillsborough Corridor Master Plan and the West River
Redevelopment Plan.

The Outreach

The hallmark and strength of the InVision Tampa planning process
has been the unprecedented involvement with our community. In 2012
we began by hosting a series of community knowledge exchanges and
meetings, neighborhood charettes, and one-on-one dialogues to
understand how Tampa's people and their lives are shaped by the
land itself, the financial implications and long-term community
effects in their communities. More than 2,000 people have participated
in our traditional outreach efforts to date. We broadened engagement
with I-town meetings and numerous online and social channels for
greater outreach and to ensure input from various audiences,
including traditionally marginalized communities.

We will continue to rely on our traditional face-to-face meetings
and on-line social media channels to keep you informed and to seek
additional input and ideas as we strive to implement the recommendations
of the Center City Master Plan, the Nebraska – Hillsborough Corridor Plan
and the West River Redevelopment Plan. Your participation was critical in
the creation of these plans. And it is equally important in achieving the Vision.
